Description
The Sonoran Desert as currently defined covers approximately 100,000 square miles and includes most of the southern half of Arizona. The Sonoran Desert is the only place in the world where Saguaro cactus grow naturally. The Saguaro cacti is a protected species. You actually need a permit to move one. Saguaros take nearly 70 years to produce flowers. By 95-100 years in age, a saguaro cactus can reach a height of 15-16 feet, and could start to produce its first arm. By 200 years old, the saguaro cactus has reached its full height, reaching upwards of 45 feet tall. Some saguaros have been seen with dozens of arms, while other cactus never produce a single one. Saguaro cacti are highly important to both animals and people. Small birds excavate nest cavities inside the saguaro's pulpy flesh, and large ones build stick nests among its arms. Saguaro flowers, fruit, and flesh variously provide nectar, moisture, and food for birds, bats, mammals, reptiles, and insects.

this is amazing, Lyuba, it is like a stone statue if I had not seen the finer detail. It's almost perfect in shape and geometrical. Awesome. And a great shot.
